Pelagia and the White Bulldog
Historischer Krimi von Boris Akunin
In the dying days of the nineteenth century, the small Russian town of Zavolzhsk is shaken out of its sleepy rural existence by the arrival from St Petersburg of a Synodical Inspector with a hidden agenda and a dangerously persuasive manner. Meanwhile, in the nearby country estate of Drozdovka, one of the prized white Bulldogs – prized because of its one brown ear, and its propensity to drool – belonging to the cantankerous lady of the house has been poisoned.
Der erste Band der Sister Pelagia Serie. “What I liked most about this whimsical thriller is its ironic but seemingly accurate description of Russian culture at the beginning of the 20th century – and possibly well beyond that.” (Leser) (9 Rezensionen / 4,0 Sterne), 356 Seiten noch günstig?
